BERNICE PIER, OF NOKOIYIIS, ILLINOIS.

BOUDOIB GAE.

The present invention relates'to caps and more particularly to ladiesboudoir caps and an iu'iportant object ot the invention resides in theprovision of a boudoir cap which may be placed in a relatively flatposition Whereby the entire surface of the cap may be easily accessiblewhen it is desired to iron the same during the laundering process.

Another very important object of the in Vhl'llilOIl resides in theprovision of a boudoir cap of this nature With a simple constructionthat is attractive in appearance, cheap of manufacture, and comfortablewhen it is fixed upon the head of the wearer.

With these and numerous other objects in view as Will appear as thedescription proceeds, the invention resides in certain novelties otconstruction and in the arrangement of parts as Will be hereinafter morefully described and claimed.

In the drawing:

Figure 1 a side elevation of the cap embodying features of my invention,

Figure 2 is a plan view of the cap in a relatively flat position,

Fi ure 3 is another side elevation thereof.

Referring to the drawing in detail, it will be seen that the body 5 ismade up of an oblong piece of cloth having its side edges towards oneend slightly converging relatively narrow col (3 is provided at said endof the body 5 and. a relatively Wide mil 7 is provided at the other endthereof. '.l1esc culls enten d transversely of the body and are formedto be attractive in appearance. A pair of spaced buttonholes 8 arearranged along each edge of the body and the top 7 as indicated at 8. Asingle buttonhole 9 is provided intermediate the ends of eachlongitudinal edge of the body. A pair of buttons 10 and 11 are arrangedalong each longitudinal edge of the body adjacent the cut? end 6.

When the top is in the relatively flat position shown in Fig. 2 it isfoldedbver upon itself so that the butto 11 are engaged in the end open8 and the buttons 10 engaged in the other end opeliiings 8. The openings9 are then engaged over the buttons thus completing the boudoir cap inits position to be placed. over the head.

It will be seen that the structure is ex ccedingly simple, inexpensiveto manufacture, and may be made very attractive in appearance. No, skillis required in the manipulation of the cap to its different positionsand thus the laundering of the cap is made relatively easy.

lVhile I have described What I believe to bethe most desirableen'ibodinient of my invention, it is obvious that many of the detailsmay be varied Without in any way doparting from the spirit of myinvention, and I therefore do not linnt myself to the exact details ofconstruction herein set forth nor to anything less than the Whole of myinvention liinited only as hereinafter claimed.

Having thus described my invention What I claim new is:

A boudoir cap having'an elongated body provided on each long-i adinaledge adjacent one end With a pair of liiingituilinally placed buttonholes, and a bl'itton hole at the intermediate portion of the body, anda pair of longitudinally spaced buttons on each lon itudinal edge of thebody adjacent the other end thereof, said buttons adapted to passthrough the end button holes and one of the buttons on each longitudinaledge of the body being adapted to pass through the respectiveintern'iediate button hole.

In testimony Whereot I afiix my signature.
